The writer's taste is a bit sharper than mine --- I like AA Milne and find Lemony Snickett way too arch and self-conscious-- but I certainly have some new authors and books to look up after reading the article.Willahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17374272000644968446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836262699520893805.post-7407671950769465072012-01-18T19:14:56.277-08:002012-01-18T19:14:56.277-08:00What a great list Willa, thanks!!

I have never heard of her, but since you've mentioned her too, I've got to find out more : D Are the Charlotte Yonge books you've mentioned appropriate for a middle schooler?<br /><br />Just in case you're curious about the article: http://www.firstthings.com/article/2008/11/001-childrens-books-lost-and-found-44Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928243120890335339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836262699520893805.post-14707975247804678982012-01-09T04:09:16.257-08:002012-01-09T04:09:16.257-08:00Wow, Willa, so many of these titles look so good! ...Wow, Willa, so many of these titles look so good! I envy you your ability to read so quickly. Charlotte Yonge looks good as do some of the others. I've asked St. John Henry Cardinal Newman to be my patron saint for 2012. I'd love to read his books especially. Also Betrothed and A Canticle for Leibowitz have been on my radar screen for a few years but I've never gotten around to reading them! Maybe this year! Thanks so much for taking the time to list these books out.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169821331076296753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836262699520893805.post-3709229327783143342012-01-07T00:15:08.129-08:002012-01-07T00:15:08.129-08:00Thank you for sharing!
